Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the bill of exchange action brought by the holder against the avalist. The holder failed to prove legitimate possession through a valid endorsement and could not demonstrate that the aval was granted to the acceptors. Consequently, the court ruled that the holder's claims regarding the aval and protest expenses were inadmissible due to lack of proof and alleged bad faith.

SUMÁRIO

I - Improcede acção cambiaria do portador contra o avalista de letra de cambio, se aquele não prova ser legitimo detentor da mesma por via de alegado endosso.

II - E sobre o portador da letra que impende o onus de provar que o aval foi dado aos aceitantes.

III - Litiga de ma-fe o portador da letra que consciente e falsamente alega haver endossado aquela a terceiro, a quem a pagou, e que a protestou, pedindo o pagamento das despesas de protesto.
